The crisis in the automotive industry is a challenge we cannot ignore. The transition to more sustainable mobility is not only an environmental issue, but also a social one. We cannot allow millions of workers to be left behind in the name of technological progress. It is essential that European and national institutions implement policies that support workers in the transition, through professional retraining programs and the adoption of a Universal Basic Income as we now repeat like a mantra.
The automotive industry is not only a source of jobs, but also a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore crucial that the current crisis is addressed by focusing on a new type of phone number library mobility.y Igor G. Cantalini – After Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, countries whose economy is based on the exploitation of fossil fuels, the 29th edition of the Conference Of Parties (COP), which annually brings together the countries that have ratified the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, is taking place in another country that has gas and oil as the basis of its economy, Azerbaijan, in the capital Baku. One might think that choosing oil-producing countries for the COP could serve to bring them to a greater commitment towards policies with fewer fossil fuels, but this is not realistic. The Azerbaijani president himself, Ilham Aliyev, declared, in the opening speech of COP29, that for his country oil and gas are a gift from God. And how could it be otherwise, with gas and oil making up 40% of the national GDP and 90% of total export revenues? (57% of Azerbaijani oil and 20% of gas go to Italy).
